Fomicyt is a brand name for the antibiotic fosfomycin, which is used to treat various bacterial infections. It is particularly effective against urinary tract infections (UTIs), including those caused by bacteria that are resistant to other antibiotics. Fosfomycin works by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall, effectively killing the bacteria. It is often appreciated for its convenience, as it can be administered in a single dose for some infections, making it a user-friendly option for patients. Fomicyt is available in oral and intravenous forms, allowing for flexibility in treatment based on the severity of the infection and the patient's needs.
